Being a lover of most things that fly… especially amphibious aircraft, but an amphibious aircraft who’s wings pivot and fold back flush against the fuselage, I want one too, and I’m not a developer in the Bahamas! ;)

At an Estimated Price: $139,000 USD it’s a bit pricey, however, I would not be using a 100-hp Rotax 912 ULS engine, I’d opt for the converted BMW 1200 bike motor, much the same power, but in my opinion a much better engine… the Germans can’t win wars, but they are excellent builders of reliable cars and bikes, and when your zipping around in the air, reliability, experience in engineering and quietness are all important considerations, wouldn’t you agree.
